			<description><![CDATA[ A few years ago I decided to add a new impregnated rod to my meager collection and doing an Internet search came across Ron Kusse as one of the few rod makers
impregnating bamboo today. A call to Ron and discussion about impregnation convinced me that Ron knew what he spoke of and his credentials were impressive, so
an &#39;Elfin&#39; was ordered. After many great conversations over a couple of years, the rod arrived. Now I have seen in other fields where as a maker got
older quality suffered... ]]></description>

Pretty cool you had to a chance to experience that moment with a legend rod maker.  Also, good to hear that his passion for the craft has never swayed. ]]></description>

And as with all the great rod makers, their message is personal, yet essentially the same.

Thanks for sharing!

See, you don&#39;t have to spend a fortune for a bamboo froe! <img src="http://static.yuku.com//domainskins/bypass/img/smileys/happy.gif" alt="image">   Unless, of course, I start selling them... then they will be a tool you
can&#39;t do without!!!

One thing it didn&#39;t show in the video that I wish it had. Mounted on Ron&#39;s workbench and still in use after decades of service, is Jim Payne&#39;s node
press.... ]]></description>

</blockquote>Yes, he does.  I spent a week with Ron this past summer and to this day, when he talks rodmaking or flyfishing, he takes on the look of a kid at
Christmas.  We spent two days just driving around, him taking me to both famous and obscure fishing spots in the Catskills and telling me stories of the Payne
shop, the Leonard... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ That video was produced just as I was switching from graphite to bamboo.  I remember visiting with him at the time and almost pulled the trigger on ordering a
rod.  I later acquired a 71/2&#39; five weight that was a bit too fast for my taste but the workmanship was exceptional.
